My husband fully expects to see the elderly encouraged to end their lives due to economic considerations... if government health care becomes the norm.
It is patently evil thinking to say the least.
Once we killed our young, anything was possible.
I agree. Once we started disrespecting the wishes of patients themselves, the snowball started downhill.
The next step is of course death by those considered too mentally unfit to live, mainly people who hold views that the current regime finds distasteful.
I believe that your husband is right in his ssessment.
Once the Government takes over the medical profession as the people are demanding. I think that they will start with the worse cases and work their way down. Eventually everyone that cannot be worked will be killed.
If you have seen the trend toward HMO care, you know that death is often the treatment of choice..You simply die in committee while they “consider” whether or not the treatment you need can be justified by the premiums you might eventually pay to the carrier...”We are so sorry that your father died as we were near approving his surgery” Regards, HMO
